I’m complained to all the time at home about this, weekly or more reboots out of the blue, wifi disconnecting and having to manaully reconnect. I replaced my router over Christmas but it did the same when connected to the old one.
An Error message popped up last night (well that’s embarrassing) 4401-Network-File whilst watching All 4 on the humax.
After a manual restart it was ok again.
What type of reset have you done (I have the Aura), I don’t want to loose the recordings on there at the moment?
Try deleting the list of scheduled programs set to be recorded and do a rescan for channels. (You don’t need to deleted the recorded programs.)
When ever I have had random reboots, they also seem to be resolved after doing this until Freeview come along and move channels around again.
I did a reset of mine recently after contacting Humax support. It’s mostly solved the crash/rebooting problem but it still happens occasionally (but not like the daily it was doing).
I am finding it really sluggish at the moment though, slow to navigate, slow responses.
When I contacted Humax support I asked them why there hasn’t been any updates since July 2021…. They replied that they’d checked with their manager and they’d confirmed that no update has been released since then because an update hasn`t needed to come out! I suspect they don’t have these devices at home to know how unreliable they can be!
My Aura Humax box reset most evenings when I start watching live programs or iPlayer. Getting quite fed up with this now.
Can anyone recommend a decent Freeview box that will allow me to save (transfer) recorded programs and has multiple tuners?

When did you contact Humax? Gee, do you think maybe they’re not being totally honest when they said last year that a firmware update is being worked on and out soon?
End of November they replied. I did send them another one in late December but they’ve not bothered replying to that!
Apologies if there’s a way to link other posts, but I commented in the below topic before I found this one.
Having frustratingly experienced this issue and thus missing a number of recordings, this device in its current state (without a fix which Humax doesn’t appear to be addressing) is unfit for purpose and I’m about to take it back to where I bought it stating as such.
Especially now I’ve found it is much farther spread than I imagined (I can only image the additional users out there that haven’t found this Forum).
Similar to this I think, mine’s taken to rebooting when I revive it from sleep, not every time but often enough to notice, and last night the BBC iplayer crashed twice as well.

I contacted Humax customer service yesterday and they came back with this.
I haven’t tried it yet, but will give it ago and see if it makes any difference.

I had that from them as well. Totally stupid. It just needs the operating system wiped and reloaded. You would’t delete all your stored data on a pc, just to reload Windows. Well I wouldn’t because my system isn’t designed that way. Or at least have an easy way to backup and restore videos before OS wipe or HD replacement. Maybe I should take the longway and FTP 98% to an external device. Deep gloom.
As I asked in an earlier post, I haven’t found a way to get externally stored recordings back onto the Aura.
I did a Freeview reset when I had my restarting issues last April and it hasn’t played up once since then.
I did not lose any recordings when I did it.
From what I have seen, just the step of doing a rescan of the Freeview channels seems to sort out the reboot issues. Not sure if there is bug which only appears when Freeview channels move around which the Aura can’t cope with?
My Aura has been pretty stable recently following a rescan.
I have had multiple issues lately and finally gave up and did a reset. It says the recorded programmes will be saved. I made sure they were exported before I did the reset, and on rebooting the storage shows the 75% available memory that matched the pre reset level. However there ate NO recorded programmes. So I’m thinking they MUST be somewhere within the storage… but how do I get them back?
Too early to tell if the random rebooting issues have been resolved.
Mine started rebooting a couple of months ago, a couple of times/week – but tonight 3 times in one evening. It is when using the All4 App. I don’t know if there is mileage in that? Is the App causing the operating system a headache and boom ….

I would say it is highly likely that the App is causing the problem. I would try reporting the problem to them; viewerenquiries@channel4.co.uk is the contact address listed on the All4 website.
In my view, a lot of the reported Aura crashes are related to apps and the rather obsolete version of Android used by the Aura may be partly responsible.
Martin Liddle In my view, a lot of the reported Aura crashes are related to apps and the rather obsolete version of Android used by the Aura may be partly responsible.
It’s odd you say that Martin, I had message pop up on my Aura the other night saying something like ‘check out the new features of the latest version of Android TV’. Can’t see I have noticed a difference though.
I will check it out later to see if it has actually updated of whether it was just an odd bogus message.
